Easter

This past week has been filled with so much emotion, that I am overhwelmed. While reading the gospels, I have wondered about so many aspects of this time in Christ's life. Knowing what He knew. Doing what He did. How much He must truly Love us.

As Mary watched her son, flesh of her flesh, suffer the whippings and beatings and ultimately die on that cross, was she privy to the knowledge that He was fulfilling His destiny as the Son of God? How much did she fully comprehend?


As Jesus hung on that cross, dying, in the final moments, as the earth trembled and the sky went dark in the middle of the afternoon, what thoughts went through the minds of the Jewish leaders, that only hours before had lead the cry to "crucify him!"?

What about the Roman guards? As they beat Him and crucified Him. Did his Blood splatter on them? and if so, did any of them have an instant change of heart? As they witnessed the events of the day, was there a "revelation"?

On the third day, He rose from the dead. I cannot fathom the feelings of the disciples that went to the tomb, when told that it was empty. I can imagine they might have felt fear at first, not realizing, then as the truth became clear to them, the complete and utter joy of the reality.


He is Risen!

and I am forever grateful ~

Thoughts of Worry

I have a beautiful daughter and I worry about her...............
I have excessive financial stress (read past due bills) and I worry about it...........
I apparently have extreme writer's block............i dwell on it.............
I am dealing with some health issues that at this moment are overwhelming and I am worried.......

I have been learning to let go
i am obviously a very slow learner
I tell myself that i will let go and suddenly the next morning I find my worries gripped tightly in my fists

thankfully, my Lord is patient with me
